You shared a very real struggle that we can all relate to. The struggle to love like Christ. I too, have sometimes felt like I was too focused on negative aspects of my life...to the exclusion of all the good...but I also understand the difficulty of covering every aspect in one post. I think it must be possible to share the struggles without complaining. May God show us the way.

The desire to love perfectly and yet choosing time and time again not too. I resonate with your sentence "I secretly believe I should have control over my world." This is something that's hit me full force in recent weeks. I know the right words to say, but deep down I really do want to be able to do it on my own. But that's not how God made us. He made us chipped and broken and NEEDING His loving repair. Thank you for pouring out honest truth in your posts. Love you girl. =)Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991825168100346042.post-11770427773067164132012-07-12T20:14:24.048-07:002012-07-12T20:14:24.048-07:00Love.
